'''Ghost-Warriors''' were first introduced in the [[1st Edition]] where they are also referred to as ''Battle Drones''. Along with [[Wraithlord#Trivia|Spirit-Warrior]]s, they are shown as an alternate to [[Wraithlord#Trivia|Eldar Dreadnought]]s.{{Fn|1}}

Smaller than Spirit-Warriors, their purpose is assassination, infiltration and sabotage missions. The control system for these robots is provided by an Infinity Circuit whilst their bodies are crafted from a special plastic substance known as [[Stelhene]] that makes them invisible to most forms of sensors. This combination of Stelhene along with internal energy shielding makes a Ghost-Warrior nearly impossible to see by any means other than eye-sight.{{Fn|1}}
 
Variant models include the '''Executioner class''' which is typically equipped with a [[chainfist]], a [[power glove]] and a [[flamer]], and coated with [[Cameleoline]]. In contrast, an '''Assassin-class''' models two [[power gloves]] and a [[shuriken]] catapult as  part of its armaments; they are also coated in Cameleoline and equipped with a [[teleport homer]].{{Fn|1}}
 
 
The concept has evolved toward [[Spirit Stone]]-equipped [[Wraithlord]] and [[Wraithguard]], and the word "Ghost warrior" has become the catch-word to describe wraith-constructs of the Eldar.
